Maybe it should show the number of calories you’d burn going up the stairs. It would be a small number, but it’s better than 0.

For 75kg (roughly average South Korean male weight) and 7" step height (standard in the US I think, not sure about Korea), this is about 0.13kJ/step.
By coincidence, the human metabolic efficiency is (roughly) the same as the conversion between kJ and food (kilo)calories, meaning this would be (very roughly) 0.1 calories/step.
Not much, given a single French fry is maybe 5-10 calories. But it’s better than nothing!

It says you burn 0.5Kcal for every 2 steps you take, and extend your life by 8 seconds.
Here is even an example that shows progress as your calories and seconds added increase as you climb up the stairs.
